A truly revolutionary new rifle—the HK SL8-6 is constructed almost entirely of a reinforced carbon-fiber polymer. Based on the current combat-tested German Army G36 rifle, the SL8-6 uses a proven short stroke, piston-actuated gas operating system, well known for simplicity and reliability. Designed and engineered to deliver exceptional shooting performance, the SL8-6 is already a favorite among European rifle shooters, due in large part to the many modular sighting systems available. These modular systems include extended and short Picatinny rail mounts. The ergonomic and clean lines of the HK SL8-6 are functional and modern, giving the SL8-6 the look and feel of 21st century firearm.
